[Life Intended] Are you in the zone of chaos?!


Hey Reader,

If you’re in your 30s, 40s, or 50s, chances are you’ve felt it—that sense of change in your body and mood that you can’t quite explain.

Maybe you’ve noticed weight gain, disrupted sleep, or even a feeling that you’re just “not yourself.”

Here’s the good news: you’re not alone, and you’re not crazy.

In this week's episode of Life Intended, I had the absolute privilege of speaking with Kelley Maple, a Family Nurse Practitioner and the Chief Medical Officer of Medical Anti-Aging. Kelley and I discuss the chaos of perimenopause—a phase that affects nearly every woman and yet remains so misunderstood.

We talked about hormone replacement therapy (HRT), lifestyle changes, and nutrition strategies that can truly transform the way women experience midlife. Kelley’s approach is rooted in science, compassion, and lived experience, making this an incredibly empowering conversation for women everywhere.

Do me a favor and share this episode with all of your friends! I promise, they will thank you and it will give you LOTS to talk about!

Personally, I was so inspired by this conversation I have an appointment with Kelley myself TODAY!! I’m diving in, ordering bloodwork, and learning more about how I can optimize my health during this pivotal phase of life.

I’ll share what I learn in an upcoming episode because I want all of us to feel informed and empowered to thrive.

Midlife doesn’t have to be about “powering through.” It can be a time of strength, clarity, and self-discovery.

See you back here next week!

Hey Reader, Did you know that last Friday was "Quitters Day"? You know, the second Friday in January where most people have already quit or given up on their New Year's Resolutions. I hope you're not in that group! But, if you are, or already struggling, I have something that I think can help. Not just with a resolution, but with your intentions for your life. Your morning routine. Like it or not, you already have a morning routine. It might not feel intentional, but it’s there. If you’re...

Hey Reader! Everywhere you look right now, someone’s telling you how to plan your year. Resolutions, vision boards, endless to-do lists—it’s overwhelming, right? But here’s the thing: most of these methods fail because they’re focused on motivation, not meaning. Resolutions often fade because they lack real intention. Motivation will only get you so far, which usually isn't far enough. And I'm guessing if you've set resolutions before, you already know this. What if, instead of resolutions,...

Life Intended Podcast with host Kelly Berry

Hi Reader, The holidays are full of joy and celebration, but let’s be honest: they can leave us feeling more exhausted than energized. Between the travel, the social commitments, and the endless to-do lists, it’s easy to feel like you need a holiday from the holidays. I know it's New Year's Eve and we're almost to the other side, but I also know if you don't approach renewal with intention, it just won't happen. And wouldn't starting 2025 refreshed and not worn-down be amazing? Even if it...
